Be careful not to subject the screen to strong impacts.
If the screen cracks, injury may result from the broken fragments.
• When using the flash, be careful not to cover it with your fingers or
clothing.

•
Avoid using, placing, or storing the product in the following places:
- Places subject to direct sunlight

applicable), be sure to attach these accessories firmly.
If the lens accessory becomes loose and falls off, it may crack, and the

to avoid pinching your fingers with the lowering flash.
This could result in injury.
